Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To evaluate and quantify intraoperative venous congestion caused by inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) ligation during left-sided colorectal cancer surgery by integrating morphological assessment via intraoperative ultrasound (US) and functional assessment via oxygen saturation endoscopic imaging (OXEI), thereby investigating clinical cutoff values for predicting anastomotic leakage (AL).

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Intraoperative prediction of anastomotic leakage and quantitative evaluation of local venous hemodynamics and microcirculation after inferior mesenteric vein ligation in colorectal cancer surgery

Developmental phase

Not applicable


Assessment

Primary outcomes

Predictive performance for anastomotic leakage (AL) evaluated by ROC-AUC, optimal cutoff values, sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value (NPV), using the venous expansion ratio (%) measured by intraoperative ultrasound (US) and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) decline rate (%) measured by oxygen saturation endoscopic imaging (OXEI).
Assessment timing: Intraoperatively and within 30 days postoperatively

Key secondary outcomes

1. Correlation between the US-measured venous expansion ratio (%) and OXEI-measured StO2 decline rate (%) before and after IMV ligation.
2. Incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage (minor and major AL).
3. Incidence of overall postoperative complications classified by Clavien-Dindo grade.
4. Postoperative length of hospital stay (days).
